No Weapon Formed Against Us Will Prosper: Trusting God Amid Fear and Threats

Standing Firm in God’s Promise When the World Seems Against Us

My Response To The Above Video…

About the video: Vaccine researcher Peter Hotez says multiple viruses will be unleashed on America the day after Trump takes office. “We have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21st.”

Warriors,

As we stand on the brink of yet another new year, whispers of fear begin to rise. Rumors of new "viruses," orchestrated plans, and hidden agendas from big pharma and our government loom heavy over the horizon. The date that echoes in many hearts—January 21, 2025—feels ominous. But I am here today to remind you of one unshakable truth: No weapon formed against us will prosper.

This is not just a phrase we quote in passing; it is a divine promise. God’s Word in Isaiah 54:17 (ESV) declares:

"No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord."

These words were not spoken for a timid people. They are the battle cry of warriors like you and me—people who stand firm in the promises of God, even when the world seeks to silence, harm, and intimidate.


Our Springboard for Today’s Reflection Is: Psalm 91

"You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday." (Psalm 91:5-6, ESV)

The threats we face—be they diseases, manipulation, or fear campaigns—are not new. The enemy has always sought to steal, kill, and destroy. But as God’s children, we are covered by the blood of Christ and sheltered under His wings.


Facing January 21, 2025, with Boldness

Warriors, we’ve heard the chatter. "A new virus will come." "It’s another plan to control and destroy." But let me tell you this: fear is the weapon of the enemy, and faith is the shield of the righteous.

  1. Acknowledge the Threat but Anchor in Truth: Yes, we must be aware of the physical and spiritual attacks that come. But our focus remains on the Word of God. When we meditate on His promises, fear has no foothold in our hearts.

  2. Pray with Authority: Luke 10:19 (ESV) reminds us: "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you." Prayer isn’t a passive act—it’s warfare. Stand firm, declaring protection over your family, your community, and this nation.

  3. Prepare with Wisdom: Proverbs 22:3 (ESV) says: "The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it." We must be spiritually and practically prepared. Stay vigilant, guard your health, and seek God’s wisdom in all decisions.


No Weapon Will Prosper, But We Must Stand Firm

The enemy thrives on division and distraction, but our strength lies in unity and unwavering faith. Let us hold fast to these truths:

  • God’s Sovereignty: Nothing happens without His knowledge. He is still in control, even in the chaos.

  • Our Authority in Christ: We are not victims; we are victors. Through Christ, we are equipped to overcome any challenge.

  • Our Eternal Perspective: Even if the world falters, our hope is not in governments or systems but in the unshakable kingdom of God.


Let’s Pray Together

Father God,

We come before You today as Your warriors, covered in the armor of God and anchored in Your promises. The world may rise against us with threats and fear, but we stand on Your Word that declares no weapon formed against us will prosper.

Lord, protect us from the schemes of the enemy. Guard our hearts from fear, our minds from lies, and our bodies from harm. We declare Psalm 91 over our lives, knowing that we are sheltered under Your wings.

Father, give us wisdom to navigate these days, courage to speak truth, and faith to trust in Your plans. Strengthen Your church, and let us be a light in the darkness. Whatever may come, we declare that You are our refuge, our fortress, and our deliverer.

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.


Warriors, Stand Strong

Let January 21, 2025, be a day where we rise in faith, not fall to fear. God is with us. His promises are sure. The enemy’s plans may form, but they will not prosper against the children of the Most High God.

Let’s Get to Work!
